HOW DO I STUDY FOR THIS MIDTERM ON FRIDAY? Every time I try

you're just a brainlet like me anon
nothing you can do
maybe its the fluoride in the water

>friday
>currently wednesday afternoon

You're honestly fucked, OP

Listen to me OP. Ivyfag here. Chances are, your exams are much easier than mine. That's just me talking because ivyfags think they have it harder. It may be true, it may not be. Who knows?

If you went to class, you will do fine. If not, you need to buckle down now. If there's practice exams available, do those FIRST before anything else.

Also, don't listen to music, especially with lyrics. Just don't listen to music at all.

>not studying the night before

fuck off, dork

>>35386526
i want to give you a reply because i know you wanted at least one

>>35386526
I went to class, and started studying earlier, but I don't know what the point was. I started studying two weeks ago but I've forgotten everything already.
Why is music bad? I usually put it on because my family is so loud, and I don't want to leave the house if I don't have to.

>>35386543
Thanks man. I am an attention whore.

>>35386539

You already know everything you're going to learn by that point. Cramming is a meme

rewrite you notes on paper. sure. it'll take a long time, but it will stick with you.

dont listen to any music, just have a fan on in the background for some white noise so your mind doesnt pick up every other sound.

>Why is music bad?
It doesn't take a genius to figure this out. Unless you are cranking out work, like coding or doing something without thinking about it, music is terrible. It's because you are focusing on the music rather than on the material. The material will go through your head and out your ears.

Also, don't study where there is noise. Go to a fucking dunkin donuts. That's where I went to study when I was in high school.

Plus side is that the workers thought I was studying real hard and gave me free donuts. That's some comfy shit.

>>35386634
OK, anon. I'll try to find a coffee shop and study knowing there's an Ivyfag out there who believes in me.

>>35386589
I don't think you know how short-term memory works.

>>35386104
Make flash cards

just reading things by themselves is pretty much the worst way to study.

what subject/s are you studying for, if I might ask?

>>35386634
I'm not OP, but I used to study fine with music, and I still do sometimes. Usually if it's orchestral stuff it isn't distracting, and it makes me feel more relaxed.

>>35386773
As i said, non lyrical music is usually fine. I would listen to classical or dark jazz. Optimally, no music.

However, if you go to dunkin donuts liek I do, there's background normie music, but its played in such a way that it really doesn't distract you

>Unifag

Fuck off. You don't belong here.

>>35386104

Unitonically anon, when I get a buzz going I can study pretty well. Don't know if it will work for you but it does for me

>get top percentile on homeworks
>get 8/100 on tests because anxiety

i want to fucking die, mate.

>>35386932
Sounds like you've had a bad experience with tests. I actually kind of like them, so anxiety usually never bothers me.
Now if only I was like that with actual humans, and not a piece of paper, them maybe I could make friends.
Oh well.

>>35386932
At least for me projects are 30% of my grade. Test are 20 and final is 40 attendence being the rest. If i continue knocking projects out and do good on the final I will be in good shape.

Pathophysiology

Genuinely don't know how I've made it this far

>>35386932
You sound like a pretentious cunt 2bh mate.

>>35386964
In my case I just never see the shit for test during lecture. We are told to read supplementary text in order to learn about things such as address changing and what not. I have a mental issue with not wanting to read it.

>>35387013
W-w-why? I really do mean anxiety man. On anything that is timed, as well. For coding challenges for interviews I fucking freak out.

>>35386104
You don't, you wing it and accept your C with dignity. The only time you study is if you are failing near the end of the semester
